Let’s Talk Banners!
How awesome is Lucy’s sketch in the new Lily Pad Cards Challenge! I had a few ideas for this one but decided on simplicity in the end. One of my fab blog friends inspired me with her red phone and…

Polka Dot Frenzy!
Love.Love.Love anything ‘dotty’, so when I saw that the Lawnscaping Challenge was having a Polka Dot Frenzy Challenge, I lept in… spots and all! AND then I made a totally different card… I didn’t like the first one, so now here…
Sweet Birthday!
The Tuesday Trigger this week was Royally Sweet! I couldn’t resist repeating the swirl pattern that was iced onto the cake, it looks sooo yummy! I also sat down to have a ‘nice cuppa tea’ while I made the card. When…
Bee Happy!
I decided to combine these two challenges in the one post as the cards I made are very similar. I was playing with the May ‘freebie’, yes you heard me right, it was a free digi image from Paper Smooches & just…
Just because it’s ‘In Bloom’
The team from The Play Date Cafe have created yet another fantasmagorical challenge, dontcha just adore this colour inspiration!! I used my ‘new‘ Memento Dew Drops colours (12 glorious colours in one handy pack), it’s great not to be limited…
CAS-ual Friday… on Sunday?
Don’t you LOVE to find a new challenge site! Ooooh and it’s one sooo suited to me and my ‘default‘ CAS style. It’s called CAS-ual Fridays and this week it’s buttons & twine… so I got out the biggest brightest button I could find…
Skirting the Issue!
I just adore Cath’s Tuesday Trigger this week, Skirting the Issue. I decided to focus on the colours and for some reason I didn’t want too many layers on the card either. I am also enjoying colouring with pencils at the…
Sweet Sundaes!
Can I tell you something funny? The other day I was sitting at my desk making cards (yes, I know that’s hard to believe!) and my husband was sitting talking to me and says with a most serious face “haven’t…
It’s a boy!
I’ve been thinking about ’tissue paper’ for a while now… well at least since Moxie Fab put out a new challenge. It’s called the Tissue Paper Magic Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I was wondering what I could do &…
In my thoughts
I have been struggling a little with ‘finishing’ a card at the moment. I have these grandiose ideas & get half way through… then stop. What’s that word again? That’s right it’s mojo. And what better way to get back…
On your Shower
I am sooo excited my Lawn Fawn stamps finally arrived! (thank you long week-end) What perfect timing, I am going to a baby shower tomorrow… so they have already seen ink! I was inspired by the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger & there…
CSC36 – Enjoy the Ride!
It’s raining here today on our Easter Monday Tuesday (I know it’s confusing but in Australia this year our Public holidays clashed and added up to a 5 day weekend… it’s a long story). Anyway I was hoping to get…
Using up scraps…
I embraced the current Embellish Magazine Crochet Trim Color Trends Challenge, that is, I drove down the street to buy some crochet trim only to come home and change my mind to use the one that I already had… work…
An Easter Card for… Easter!
So guess who doesn’t own any Easter stamps? It’s funny that I didn’t realise this until I started making an easter card for the current Scrapbook Boutique and Copic Oz challenges. Anyway I made do with what I have and enjoyed a little paper…
Calling all Critters!
I’m soooo excited, I have my first set of Lawn Fawn stamps on the way to my door! But I couldn’t wait til they came to join the current Lawnscaping Challenge – Calling all Critters. The inspiration cards were…
A Sympathetic Mother’s Day?
So I sat down to make some Mother’s Day cards and I don’t know where I went wrong… but I ended up with a Sympathy Card. And although I like it maybe I shouldn’t send it instead of a Mother’s…
Did you miss me?
I’ve been on holidays & WOW was it some fun! But now I am back & boy do I have some wonderful blogs to catch up on. I will be sharing some fabulous photos of my trip to Outback Australia after my post……
A Krafty Birthday!
So I know I am having a problem at the moment keeping Kraft cardstock away from my cards… but I just love it! It’s probably because I don’t have to think, it just goes with everything. So here it is…
Here kitty kitty…
I just LOVE holidays… I have spent my whole day playing with stamps & paper, it couldn’t get any better than that! Especially when my husband is at work, there has been rain outside & the chickens are out running around…
My niece turns 20!
I’m officially old… I would swear that I was still 18, except that I have noticed now I have slowed down by at least 110% – I like to say that I am just more experienced in life and now…
